Joni says, "I bought red toile because she did." (Joni's home, below.)
Joni says, "I collected English smalls because she did."
Joni says, "She bought Kenneth Turner candles, I bought Kenneth Turner candles."
Joni says, "I could go on & on how I tried to clone my aesthetic into hers, rather unsuccessully I'm afraid because true genius is not so easily stolen.".
True genius in design includes a fascinating fact, it's a gift, if you pay close attention, for the taking. Joni pays close attention. She knows to COPY.

Copy, it's the first rule of Landscape Design. If it's beautiful in one garden it will be beautiful in yours.
.
Each time you COPY it is unique.

Pics from Joni Webb's blog, Cote de Texas. Bottom pic is from Carol Glasser's home. At this moment, in my attic, an antique plant stand rests. Not much longer. It's coming into daylight this month & filled with terra cotta pots & ivy topiaries.

If you haven't perused Cote de Texas yet you have a treat ahead.

Joni has her Carol Glasser & I have my Susanne Hudson !!!!

I was wondering where you were going w/ ALL the interior shots!! Then you bring it back - good design ideas apply anywhere (if one knows how to adapt them).
I loved this particular post by Joni. I discovered I had several tear out pages of magazines of the rooms designed by Carol Glasser. Her style is so welcoming.

Thank you, Tara! As someone who copies, a lot. I enjoyed the validation :0) I will no longer feel guilty about my copy cat ways.
And I love your new fabric, what a fantastic find!
Have a good weekend,
